Does Cricut Access have a free trial?

Yes, Cricut Access is **free for 30 days for new subscribers only**, then $9.99/month, and the subscription **automatically renews until cancelled**. To avoid being charged, cancel before the trial ends. If you cancel during the trial, access to subscription features generally stops immediately. Price may vary by region.

I was charged for Cricut Access after I cancelled, what do I do?

First check **where** you subscribed: a website cancellation won't stop an App Store or Google Play subscription (and vice versa), and some users hold two subscriptions across channels. Verify the cancellation shows in that same account/store. If the charge is still wrong, contact Cricut Member Care via phone or chat with your order ID. For an unresolved unfair charge, a card chargeback or (UK) Section 75 claim is a backstop.

REFUND GUIDE

How to Get a Cricut Access Refund.

Here's what Cricut actually owes you, what their policy quietly says, and how to escalate if they ignore the request.

Last verified 8 Aug 2026 against Cricut’s own Terms · UK, US, and EU rights covered below

The short answer

Cricut Access subscription fees are non-refundable, the terms state all payments are non-refundable except where required by law, with no refunds or credits for partial periods, unused features, or promotions. Cancelling only stops the next auto-renewal; you keep access until the end of the cycle you already paid for. Physical Cricut products (machines, materials) are separate and have a 30-day return window if new and unused. If you're in the UK or EU and cancelled a subscription within the statutory cooling-off period, you may have stronger legal refund rights than the brand's own policy suggests.

How long does a Cricut refund take?

Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.

Refund FAQ for Cricut

No. Cricut states that **Cricut Access purchases are non-refundable and non-transferable**, cancelling only stops future auto-renewal. The terms say all payments are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partial periods or unused features. That said, Cricut can issue a refund or credit at its sole discretion via Member Care, and UK/EU consumers may have statutory cooling-off rights that override the brand policy. A card chargeback is a fallback for a disputed charge.
